UREC COVID-19 Response and Updates

The health and safety of our students, faculty, and staff remain the University of
West Georgia's top priority. Campus leaders, including health experts, emergency management
personnel and others, are closely monitoring the evolving Coronavirus Disease 2019
(COVID-19) outbreak and the potential effects to campus including University Recreation.
All updates and university communication can be found on the UWG COVID-19 website.

Operations

In accordance with the University of West Georgia's Coronavirus (COVID-19) response,
All Campus Center and University Recreation operations, events, and programming that
was originally planned to occur has now been suspended until further notice. This
includes all event reservations that were to be held during this time.

Be on the lookout for each area to reach out directly in regards to how refunds will
be handled during this time. UREC will make known any updates as information becomes
available.

Due to COVID-19, we understand that renewing and/or collecting items from a locker
is not feasible at this time. Therefore, UREC Lockers will not need to be renewed
during the spring and summer semesters. Anyone with a current locker will be able
to keep their belongings in that locker until campus resumes normal operations. After
that, UREC will contact patrons with an official date where patrons will then have
30 days to renew their locker or to retrieve their items. We appreciate your flexibility
during this time and hope you will renew with UREC in the future!
